4 % THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1956 THE PILOT—Soiiihorn I^nes. North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER At the Christmas season, chil dren are at the top of the gift list j and books are favorite gifts. i American editors and publishers produce hundreds of new books each fear for our fortunate chil-j dren as well as new editions of the old favorites which usually show advances in type, design I and quality of illustration over| those of a few decades back. i It would be a bold critic indeed who would pick out “the best” of these but here are a few thatj have especially pleased us. | WHISTLE FOR THE TRAIN by Golden MacDonald, illustra ted by Leonard Weisgard (Dou-' bleday $2.50). This for the very young with its rhythmic text and repetition about the little black train that goes down the track “clickety-clack, clickety-clack.” We see a kitten approach the track and the little train blows a whistle to make the kitten stand back and then it goes on, “click ety-clack, clickety-clack, click ety-clack.” The same idea is re peated with other animals and finally with boys and girls. Anyone who ^s worked with children of nursery school age will know how popular is this repeating of the pattern until the children can almost keep ahead of you and shout the next line be-j fore you get there. The artist’s' soft lithographs are models of simplicity and real appeal for this age. THE DSEFDL DRAGON OF SAM LING TOY, written and il lustrated by Glen Dines (MacMil lan $2.25). More exotic and more fanciful and so just a shade older in appeal is this warm story of the lovable Sam Ling. Sam Ling had a laundry shop in Chinatown that was just like Einy other laundry shop except for puppies, kittens, bunnies, fish, frogs, turtles, mice—^he just couldn’t resist any living crea ture—and the children who came to visit them. One day he picked up a little lizard and fed it and it grew and grew and grew until it became a dragon, and that is where the tale gets really exci ting and hilarious. Colored pictures on every page show such amusing situations as the dragon trying to be a traf-' fic policeman, trying to run a cable car, helping the Mayor greet distinguished strangers and so on. CINNEBAR: THE ONE O'CLOCK FOX by Marguerite Henry and Wesley Dennis (Rand McNally $2.95). Cinnebar lived in Virginia on George Washington’s estate and he was so famous a fox that they had a song about him; “We’ll catch the one o’clock fox And put him in a box And never let him go.” This famous author-artist team has produced several books well loved by children—“Misty of Chincoteague,” “King of the Wind,” “Brighty of Grand Can yon.” Here they have a new ani mal hero—a dashing, courageous, fun-loving fellow; for Cinnebar the Fox loved the hunt quite as much as the huntsmen. But Cinnebar was also a good father and the story of his do mestic life, his admiring wife Vicky and those four rollicking jliittle cubs—Rascal and Pascal, Merry and Mischief—^will be throughly relished by aU chil- dm who are fond of animals and that is 99.9 per cent of them. Marguerite Henry had two fox cubs in a cage outside her win dow and watched them daily while writing her book. Both she and the artist show a thorough familiarity with and admiration of foxes and foxiness, but Miss Henry is no ^stickler for using only proven facts. She feels she knows what foxes think and feel and say alone in their dens and she tells you aU about it, so that you get rounded characters whose adventures you share, sometimes with anxiety, some times with glee. THE GYPSIES' FIDDLE AND OTHER GYPSY STORIES by M. A. JagMMtenf and C. K. TUlba- gen (Vanguard $2D0). Gypsies have gathered around their camprfires for generations—^tell ing stories of kings and princes, coppersmiths and fiddles, drag ons and horses. The colorful tales in this collection come directly from' the great gypsy Taikon, and the authore have made them into a book as inviting as the wide open road the gypsies travel. “It it hadn’t happened, it wouldn’t be told”—toat’s how the gypsies start their wonder ful stories. But whether' they happened or not, these gypsy tales are fun to read and fun to tell. There was the silly fellow who sold his beard without shaving it off his face; there are the horses with the flaming tails that gave off warmth like a feather bed; and there are the cows that flew over the sea, and many more ex citing adventures. \ Maybe they never happened but, as the gypsies say, when you 'are always in the woods, under the moon and in the wind, you hear more clearly, feel more keenly, and see more.

Dr. Foreman T here are many ways of living in this world. There is the way )f ruthless pride, with the motto: "The world is my orange and I in tend to squeeze it.” There is the ,vay of the fool, who never thinks leyond today and is always sur- orised to discover that what he iowed came up and what he didn’t )lant did not come up. There is he way of the , I a z y man who aan’t be bothered, and who always takes the easiest way no matter what. There Is even the way of hate, the way of bitterness and suspicion, going always downhill among dead trees without leaf or fruit. Everybody knows that these are none of them Christian ways. Even those who are not Christians know that the way of Christ is the way of love. Other Ways of Love But what is the Christian way of love? There are more ways than one to use the word “love.” There are ways of love, so called, which are not the Christian way. For in stance, there is something called love, which consists really of fond ness for things or people that are lovable. For example, a young woman stands at an altar and promises to take a man "for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health.” But she does not really hear the vow she makes. And if the man turns out to be poorer or worse than she thought, she looks up a divorce lawyer. The way of Christian love does not demand lovableness first; on the contrary, Christian love can make an unlovely and' unloving person lovable. Some love is all for one’s own benefit; “I love you” can mean no more than “I want' you for m.y exclusive use.” Chris tian love “does not insist on its own way.” It does not ask, “V/hat can you do for me?” but “What may I do for you?” 81er,si'!ig ilie Universe Another way of love, sometimes mistaken for the Christian way, is no better than sheer sloppy senti mentality. Sometimes it consists in a vague feeling that everything is very nice in a very happy world. A minister once preached on the text, “Ye that love the Lord, hate evU.” After the sermon a lady told him she didn’t like that sermon at all. She had been brought up to believe that love was always right and hate always wrong. Love is al ways right, yes; but that does not mean we can feel free to love what is evil. If we love the good, we shall not love what destroys good. Sometimes this substitute for Christian love takes the form of a general feeling of good will toward the world in general. A weU-known American wrote shortly before his death, “I bless the universe.” Now it is certainly better to bless the universe than to curse it. But bless ing the universe seems a curious sort of thing to do. Are you really blessing all of it, sir? Cholera and polio, stars and atoms and ty phoons and germs, criminal and judge, saints and sinners, miracles and murderers? We have to be careful that we don’t love the uni verse in such a way that whatever happens seems exactly rig’nt! The Christian 'Way The Christian way of love is not totally different from these other ways; but it is vitally different. It is inspired by God in the first place and it mirrors his love. It goes be yond the lovable, it is more than an exchange of love. It even goes out to one’s enemies. American history gives us two striking illus trations of' the actual power of love, in two men on opposite sides of the American cMl war. 'The two enemies, as they once were, are now honored more perhaps than any other two in that tragic conflict: Lincoln and Lee. Each was a man who could do nothing else but stand by his convictions and fight even when other men were ready to give up. Their lova was not the child of indifference^ selfishness or cowardice. But it was Lincoln who coined the phrase, “charity toward all and malice toward none,” — and he meant every word of it. It was Lee wha later as president of a college re fused to let any one in his presence speak evil of his former enemies. It is not the men who are the best haters, but those whn show what Christian love is, who have great est power over the hearts of man kind.
